Linux archbox 4.2.5-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Oct 27 08:13:28 CET 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux That's right fella's, shiny new chit, come on ya guys know ye are itching to start hitting the oooooo 's n aaaaaaah buttons ! hah. I heard sitting it in a tray of ice cold water works to stop the overheating. pe...

Lmao Titan ... ironically, don't really mind that Xmas song, well at least the video. If nothing else could always mute and watch it just to see Mariah carey's fine azz frolicking. :)


Vll!

Nm ... also lame.

Yep ... lame sowwie fellow nixers. :D

What Jay Murdah is dope ! Ok ... yeah, that song is painful on a couple different levels of da pain. Held in for 1min, 37secs. Gotten to the point in my life, where just about any Rapish type stuff gets on my nerves, ESPECIALLY if it involves caucasian type people. Kinda skirting the topic of this t...

^ Hmmmm, if I must suffer, you must suffer too fellow nixer. :D At least it makes me feel less en-pained. LMAO ! Kidding ... though this Xmas crap should be stopped ! It's surely evil dammit. If for no other reason than it aggravates many people.


Vll! :)

Anything christmas'ey ... who da feck came out with the unwritten law that Xmas tunes have to be played everywhere for a friggin month ? Dammit ... if somebody wants to hear Xmas tunes, they'll buy/steal or otherwise gain access to it w/o me having to hear it every friggin where I go ! /end rant. :)...

^Thanks much Machine, will do as advised and the time savings are really appreciated. Googled stuff along the lines of "install a minimal fedora" etc blahblah. No Gnome for me, tyvm. :)

Final update on this nonsense: Now that Arch is setup and running, finding myself fricken bored. LMAO ! Is a nice OS, runs very well, there went 12hrs of ma damn life I won't be getting back ! Next nixish adventure, am planning on giving Fedora a try out. So many commercial applications of gnu/Nix n...

Biz is now thoroughly confuzzled. *scratches head. However all this talk/type about cake is making me hungry. ;) @Sir Ivan ... sub-100 eh. Yep definitely agree that's good. Also agree with you that everything is bloat. Back when started dorking with Nix ( 512mbs-ram), 60-80mbs would've drove me craz...

Necrobump ( errr sorta): That dialog between RMS and Linus T was priceless, thanks. :D

Chit ! So this is where ya come to get the memo's :D

Interesting read on Arch, another thanks Sir Ivan. Makes sense, I joke about starting a distro but have considered doing so and absolutely yes, it would not be a fricken democracy. With perhaps the exception of a highly respected core of nixers in the community. Overall though, nope ... understand d...

^No worries fellow nixer. The sans display manager thing is just a bit too hardcore for me atm. At least the install is up, running and as complete as can be expected. Now to stick to commitment gotta use this OS majority of time for the next couple wks. At which time will feel justified in forming ...

^ :D That's one thing I've yet to ever figure out to date. Autologin w/o a display mananger. Got close once, other than plugdev stopped work ( would've had to mount usb's-etc manually arghhh), everything was fine. Certainly wasn't in the mood to sink more time and hassles attempting it on Arch. Ligh...

Good question I guess, no good answer. Expedient + easier session switching ? Like many dm's boots the last session default, have openbox too. Probably will install others for heck of it. From past experience, display managers don't really add much overhead regardless. Not overly familiar atm with h...

Update: Alright fellows, finally got Arch install up to snuff. Lightdm set to autologin, video/audio working, network wireless automatically kicking in. Can finally start dorking with it for awhile. Here in there who knows how many hours already dumped ... several though. Hoops, hoops n more hoops. ...

^LMFAO ... what I was thinking too Wux, ya know what they say, twisted minds think alike me friend. :P Did the kernel compile thing, it worked well enough. Though to be honest not 100% sure I got it and all the modules right. Did learn a bunch in the process though about config options etc. So concl...

^Duly noted Wux ... am not holding my breath, I also keep looking for well paying jobs along the lines of "mattress tester" = Sleep ya way to fortune and fame and "beer quality assessor" = get paid to get sloppy drunk on free suds ! Arghhhh in a perfect world perhaps. ;) Still so...

This is like the 3rd time playing with Arch but never really gave it a chance, a few dys here, a couple wks there don't think is enough to form an opinion of it. Am afraid Machine's right and there won't be much of any substantial performance difference. Still not quite sure why even bothering, have...
